We were at a lake on a family vacation and were given a sunfish for
helping a woman move some furniture (now that I think of it, I hope the
sunfish was hers). It seemed mostly complete, even with a trailer and
an extra set of sails. We put it in the water and it seemed to sail
well.

Now that we're home I'd like to fix it up a little. I don't expect to
get it to showroom condition, just things that would make it more
enjoyable and efficient, and where the return on investment makes
sense.

Not sure of the age. Couldn't find any serial numbers, but it has the
brass contraption for the rudder, and from what I've read so far, that
means old. It didn't seem like the bailer worked, but it had a screw
on cap that I now think needed to be removed. The only things that
looked like they were missing were something on the deck next to the
mast, and something on the deck in front of the cockpit.

From googling, it seems like the first thing I need to do is lighten
this thing up. It seems to weigh over 200 lbs, taking 2-3 people to
lift/manuever it. I plan to add the inspection ports to help with
this. Is one in front of the cockpit and one near the rear standard
practice?

From there I'd probably do an air test and work on patching any leaks I
can find. I've worked with fiberglass repair on autos, I assume the
process is the same?

Also, I'd like to clean it up a little. It has been repainted once,
and the hull has a layer of what I'll call funk on it. Any suggestions
on how to start? Do I wash it off, or can I sand it off? Should I
repaint or put any type of coating on it? If so, are there recommended
types?

Is there a recommended order for doing the things I've listed or
anything else?

Thanks in advance for helping me start my sailing journey,
Dwight
